Neat!
I keep assuming that whoever sends me to bad webcomics goes to the bad web art that I send them to, but in actuality I suspect it is just a queue of unrelated random connections, and that there is no 1 to 1 anything.
Also: it says "here is: Site-I-Entered.net" but when I click on that I go to the site they entered, which I am already seeing.
Also also: this is perhaps the first time I have been annoyed at framebusting websites.

I got cheese.com, debian.org, wookieepedia.org, sandraandwoo.com, and laughingsquid.com/grilled-cheese-doughnut, and forums.somethingawful.com. I figured SA meant the shock sites coming up next, so I tried quitting, but the seppuku urge is strong, just one more.
And my final submission yielded holistic.xkcd.com itself. Yes, yes folks, recursive search!

I got a very nice 2br apartment for only $800/month - stone hearth, brand new kitchen with double oven, extra fridge in the private basement, close to town. It's in a row of stone cottages, tucked away in the hills on the outskirts of town. Very pretty, and a sweet deal... if I was looking for a place in West Yorkshire for around 500 pounds a month, I'd definitely be pleased with XKCD.

There is a place near me that has been doing something like this for years, but only with food delivery. I order a pizza with pepperoni and sausage, and apparently someone somewhere else orders a pizza with onions and olives at the same time. I wind up getting the pizza with onions and olives. Sometimes it will actually be a sandwich instead of a pizza, or vice versa. I started just ordering really shitty things that I didn't like with the hope that what I received would be an upgrade over what I ordered.

Luckily, Far is only three squares down the board! C'mon, Science! You can so roll a 3!

I'm mostly just getting boring websites like NYT and CNN (presumably people just copying and pasting one address over and over to keep getting new stuff from other users). I'd rather get strange porn, honestly.

I'm kind of new here but you probably can't link to what I saw in most states anyway... Really people. Somethings do not go well with 'you spin me right round baby' on a loop.

cupoporn.net (doing my part to seed the porn-ish stuff) gave me the American Society for Velociraptor Attack Prevention website. Perfect. It makes me wish I could get down to Christopher Newport Univ. for the talk Randall's giving April 4th.

Didn't this happen years ago with randomsite? You can just click Go and get a different site each time. -- Old'n'Busted
No, the sites are not random. That's the whole point.
I enjoy it because I get to send random strangers to sites that I think will like. Of course, since they are strangers, it is kind of hit-or-miss, which is part of the fun.

I plugged in shitbrix (nope never been there before just a random I popped outta Teh Guugol) and got sent to Dinosaur Comics. It's a fair trade I'll warrant, guvna', but I want something more satisfying for my mindless submission.

I put in a link to My Immortal, which has the reputation of being the worst fanfiction ever written*, and I got sent to Carnegie-Mellon's Website.
Now I feel a little guilty.
* It's not really the worst. The whole thing is a mostly innocent troll. I wouldn't send anyone to the worst I've seen, because that would be evil.
